But its pertis and hardships are still fresh in the mind of Dan Crow- ley, the man who led it. 1t was just 16 years ago that Crow- ley herded his flock into a small Eskimo village on the Arctic sea and turned it over to the Cana- dian government, mission com- pleted. After a lifetime in the far north, Crowley has retired to a pleasant redwood cottage here. He likes to talk about his epic adventure, but “I'd never do it over again, T've had enough of gales and ice.” The drive across the lid of the world was supposed fo last 18 months but actually took five years. In 1929 Crowley was field man- ager for the Lomen Reindeer Corp., SATURDAY, OCTOBER 27, 1951 4 which had contracted with King1 short of deer trained to haul food} The first crossing of an 80-mile George V of England to deliver 3,000 reindeer to starving Eskimos in Canada. The herd was rounded up north | of Nome. Its destination was Kit- tigazuit, a village east of the delta of the Mackenzie river in Canada. On a map the distance is about 1,000 miles. Crowley estimates he traveled over 2,000. He had to zig- zag, following trails where food was | available and avoiding high moun- tain passes. Crowley charted a course after scouting the terrain by plane. Their | path led through a bleak land al- most unknown to white men and peopled only by roving bands of Eskimos. It was entirely within the Arctic circle. They started on Christmas day, 1929. blizzards, temperatures of 70 de- grees below zero, stampedes and continual stock losses to arctic wolves. A few months out, fawning sea- son overtook the herd. When it was over the herd had increased from 3,000 to 4,000. Crowley ordered 1,000 driven back to the starting point — 3,000 “were enough trouble” he said. The herders found themselves Ahead of them were famine, | | sledges. | | They had to halt to “break in” | deer from the herd, no mean feat. | An untrained animal, hitched to a sled, will bolt and head for the | hills; trying to shake loose the con- traption which it thinks is chasing it. When 100 deer were trained,| the trek resumed. | | Next obstacle was the Baird Mountains. There was no way to | skirt them. They had to be climbed. | Crowley settled on a route through | | the Redstone River canyon, but be- | cause the ground was boggy they | had to wait for the fall freeze to firm it up. Before they left 1,000 deer escaped, | driven to flight by mosquitos. The area on the other side was not timbered. The party ran out of fuel for tents and stoves. They pushed on through temperatures of 50 degrees below zero. The deer were hard to drive be- cause they were blinded by clouds | of steam that hovered over the herd Vapor from animals’ nostrils froze and ice spread over their eyes. | Driving over mountains and| tundra, halting during fawni -| sons, they trekked for three yes | 5| | Mackenzie. stretch of Arctic ocean ice that blocked their way was attempted in January, 1934. The great danger was from storms. In addition, the stretch offered the raindeer nothing to eat. The deer stampeded, racing | for the mainland. The herd had to be reconditioned for another at- tempt. It was not until March 1935, more than a year later, that a successful crossing was made. The following month, five years and four months after it started, the herd was de- livered to the Canadian government. FROM ANCHORAGE * Anchorage residents registered at the Baranof Hotel include: G.
